In the past, when a patient lost a tooth, only a few options existed to replace the tooth. He or she could have a full or partial denture made, or the tooth could be replaced with cemented custom bridgework.

Now, a simpler, less invasive procedure can replace one or more missing teeth, and can save the patient money. A missing tooth can be replaced with a mini dental implant, and a few mini dental implants can be placed to add stability to loose-fitting upper and lower dentures.

One of the advantages of a single dental implant over traditional options is that the teeth next to the missing tooth need not be prepared or ground down as is necessary for bridgework. Using implants allows the surrounding natural teeth to be saved and left undisturbed.

Mini dental implants cost less than traditional or standard sized implants. In most cases there is significantly less time involved from start to finish when a mini implant can be used to replace a missing implant.

Dr. Butler is the founder of Innovative Dental Implants, and he has helped thousands of patients get their smile back. IDI works with your dentist to give you just what you’ve always wanted — a beautiful, confident smile — and the ability to eat all the food you’ve been missing.

The No. 1 factor in the success of mini dental implants is the experience of the dentist placing them. Dr. James Butler is a certified instructor for mini implant placement, and has taught other general dentists the art and science of successful implant surgery since 2006.
